It's been ages and the "reunion" is all good!

Re: SotD - Friday the 13th of August (Synchronized Hermès Day)

Re. Hermes today ......I will have to dig around my " Perfume Graveyard" located at the back of the closet ....... if I remember , I have 'some' Hermes Caleche Soie de Whatsit somewhere.............if not, I'll have to wear something else in honor of Duckie.

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Re: SotD - Friday the 13th of August (Synchronized Hermès Day)

It was a feisty little thing when first applied, but it calmed down considerably within an hour or two. It smells like iris or a light leather to me now. I'm fond of iris but not too keen on leather.Paprika Brasil stays very close to the skin, so I have to keep lifing my wrist to smell the apllication there. I also applied it to chest and neck with dabs rather than sprays, as I have it in a 2ml vial tester I received when buying Hermes Pamplemouse Something*. I love their vials - very elegant.

I won't take the trouble to wear Paprika Brasil again. There are other iris frags that I prefer, and other Hermes scents that I like much better than this.

*The Hermes Pamplemouse is strangely lovely but I get negative reactions when wearing it. If I'm in a lift I can see people turning away in disgust - they think it's bad body odour! That's how I smell the Guerlain Pamplemouse Aqua Allegoria, so I know how they feel.

Happy Birthday to my friend ComDiva and many fragrant wishes to you.

Hermes Rouge Delicate for me today.

Last night I was craving vanilla -- believe it or not! -- and it was the hottest day of the year so far (96F with high humidity). Lemme tell you guys -- this is one of the signs of autumn, my cravings know my seasons better than my brain or skin. I caved in and wore La Maison de la Vanille Tahiti (of course there is AC running in the house).

Re: SotD - Friday the 13th of August (Synchronized Hermès Day)

Happy birthday ComDiva!

I'm not participating in the Hermes day but my husband is in Terre de Hermes today.

I'm wearing Icon by Gorilla Perfume (previously in the Lush retro range). It's very churchy and orange-y at the same time. In a good way. Extremely strong at 20% so it really feels like wearing pure perfume.

Pia you have no idea how excited I am about the whole Gorilla Perfume malarky, I've only tried Lust so far and I'm smitten! Can't wait to try the others and the revived B Scents.

Oops! I forgot about SF... This morning I'm in Habit Rouge to test its all-weather, all-wardrobe, all-climate versatility (so far so good as I already know its unisex qualities) but this afternoon I'll put on some Equipage and be in synch! I think the Equipage will be a nice transition from the HR anyway.

Re: SotD - Friday the 13th of August (Synchronized Hermès Day)

What a great Synchronized Day! I love Hermès, really, really love Hermès It`s one of the predominant houses at my wardrobe (the first one is Dior). I didn`t knew that today was an Hermès Day here, but ocasionally i choosed one Hermès to wear today and now I`m feeling lucky =) My fragrance today is also Rouge Eau Delicate. I did wanted somethin cozy, and Rouge Delicate it`s to me a strange cozy scent, a dry, resinous, woody one, but very soft. What amazes me is that last year i hated this scent but i tried it again this year at a sale in a cold day and that day the scent was so gorgeous that i couldn`t stop thinking of it till i bought a bottle.
Happy Friday for all of us!
Hugs scented with Rouge Delicate []

Re: SotD - Friday the 13th of August (Synchronized Hermès Day)

Oops...forgot to wear Hermes. I will have to participate tonight.

Nostalgia by Santa Maria Novella

IMO, this is the ultimate day-at-the-country-club sort of fragrance. I always feel like a billionaire playboy, on my way to play tennis when I wear this. Of course, I was on my way to the office today...but still I felt like a million bucks. I'm glad I have a back up bottle of this. One of the few leathers I can wear in 100 degree temps.

Re: SotD - Friday the 13th of August (Synchronized Hermès Day)

Hello Dear BNers! I hope you are looking forward to an excellent weekend.

SOTD: Kelly Caleche EDT

Yes, I know I wore it yesterday, but I really like playing along with Scent Sync - and my only other Hermes readily accessible is 24 Faubourg, which is a bit heavy for August, I think. Perhaps one of these days, I'll dig out that sample of the Jardin sur le Nil to re-test...

Did not sleep well last night. On the edge of an important decision that affects me at work - do I follow my "gut" or not? This time, I think I should trust my instincts. Wish me luck (and strength!)

Re: SotD - Friday the 13th of August (Synchronized Hermès Day)

Happy Birthday ComDiva!!

I *thought* I spent the evening in Hidden Rose by Avril Lavigne, but it turned out it´s named Forbidden Rose, lol.

Another celebuscent we maybe don´t need, but I can honestly say I like it! Fruity-floral-vanillic candy, but there is an apple note in it that keeps the vanilla with company, and makes the scent both fresh and sweet at the same time.

Everything passes. Everything changes. Just do what you think you should do.

Re: SotD - Friday the 13th of August (Synchronized Hermès Day)

I'm in Yves Rocher's rich and wonderful Iris Noir this evening. It's been a long time since I've worn it because my bottle was running low, but I ordered a replacement so I can move it back to center stage for a while. :-)

Really a fabulous pic. If I could ever get my life together enough to go to a BN meet-up, I would. Looks like a great time and I'd love some face time with people who don't think this obsession is, well, obsessive...or at least they are OK with it

Re: SotD - Friday the 13th of August (Synchronized Hermès Day)

Happy birthday ComDiva!

Raindropsparkle, to follow your gut is the best advice...today was my last day in a job I have held twice for a total of 11 years. And now I am changing depts. and am very happy about the decision. Sometimes things just drop in your lap, and you have to do what seems scary but somehow very right. Good luck with your decision.

I don't yet have any Hermes fragrances, not even a sample, but I am scent twins today with Inesspenes in Vol de Nuit.
